[Sca-cooks] aebelskivers and takoyaki

[Susan Lin]

They were selling a "puff pancake" pan on tv before Christmas that was maybe
$20 that was very similar to the aebleskiver pans.  IMO the aebleskiver pans
are bigger than the takoyaki pans (have bigger holes).  Makes sense to me -
to want a two bite pancake with a sweet filling and a one bite round thing
full of octopus!
